They may fit haha, those are 18x9.5 +30 Linea Corse Lemans. Tires on them currently are a 225/40 Federal 595SS.

A lot of the weight is that tire, I ran a set of 245/40s at Super Lap Battle and it was a little bit heavier than the 255/35 RS3 Hankooks I normally use.

Oh that's too funny. Tony showed up with em to see of they fit and we were surprised in the weigh

I can get rivets and such from work too; being a maintainer has it's perks. Unless you happen to be metals tech/sheet metal and have access to more fancy rivets than I do.

Yeah I do Sheetmetal and composite structural repairs for the Airlines so I got some pricey stuff haha but not like you need them for a home DYI project pretty ridiculous how much some rivets and washers cost : /

[RedLeader]

Yeah, I get to see how much the AF pays for things like screws and washers.


You all should have seen the message I got from Alex when I said "scrap metal", "drill holes", and "round/smooth the edges"...I wasn't gonna break out the water jet cutter or CAD software for a prototype..he seems to disagree.

Yeah like the 3 grand we pay for a coffee maker in the airplanes haha. FAA certification drives the price of everything up. Should see all the titanium we throw in the scrap metal bin here at work like 13k parts scrapped for 1$ a pound at the scrap yard haha.
